Ethernet Statistics for a Port
Statistic Description
Frame Too Longs
A count of frames received on a particular interface that exceeds the maximum permitted
frame size.
The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented when the
frameTooLong status is returned by the MAC service to the LLC (or other MAC user).
Received frames for which multiple error conditions obtained are, according to the
conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted exclusively according to the
error status presented to the LLC.
Mac Receive Errors
A count of frames for which reception on a particular interface fails due to an internal
MAC sub layer receive error. A frame is only counted by an instance of this object if it is
not counted by the corresponding instance of the dot3StatsFrameTooLongs object, the
dot3Stats-AlignmentErrors object, or the dot3StatsFCSErrors object. The precise meaning
of the count represented by an instance of this object is implementation-specific. In
particular, an instance of this object may represent a count of received errors on a
particular interface that are not otherwise counted.
GEA IP Statistics
The following table describes the GEA statistics for the selected port:
Table 66
GEA IP statistics of a port
Statistic Description
InReceives
The total number of input datagrams received from interfaces, including those received in error.
InHeaderError
The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in their IP header's
destination field was not a valid address to be received at this entity (the switch).
InDiscards
The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were encountered to prevent their
continued processing, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer space). Note
that this counter does not include any datagrams discarded while awaiting re-assembly.
